Needless to say, it has been busy around here... it always seems that we are coming and going all the time. Of course the biggest serving on our plate right now is FOOTBALL... you may have noticed that as the theme of the last few posts and well the new background of the blog as well... I had found some cute blue and brown graphic that I liked, but needless to say, that did not go over very well with the Dat Dat... A few days ago Grant found Todd Jr's shoulder pads and practice jersey and carried them to me with he Hulk-like strength (yes, there is a plan in the works for Grant to be the Hulk for Halloween) yelling "buttball" (that is Grant for "football")... so, here he is in big brother's pads... Go Raiders...
And not to be out done, Grady got a hold of the helmet... notice how he is also attempting to shove the mouth piece in... Yuck! Grady, do you know where that has been?!
Question for you.... How do you win the same game two times???? Well the other team forfeits because they only have 11 players on the team and 4 of them cannot make weight... and um they're not gonna... but, since the refs have already been paid and we have all made our way to the field and have been already over cooked in the hot afternoon sun... let's just have a scrimmage... and beat the h-e-double hockey sticks out of them any way... Check it out, number 75 right in front of the ref... he even got to play most of the game... This is a photo from his first game, I did not get any from his game against Callaway on Monday... it was so yucky out... lets just say that Mommy is really glad that Me Me forgot her umbrella in the van... we put it to good use... though Grady was all about playing in the rain... Needless to say, the Lynn Haven Raiders beat the Callaway Rebels pretty soundly 30-0... I don't think the Rebels ever gained any yardage and Todd's team literally had the ball the entire 3rd quarter on offense... what a mess...
Todd Jr. is doing really well in school... 100% for the first 3 weeks on all his math and spelling tests... We are working diligently on his reading skills... he is doing fine, but we are trying to get him to read as much as he can...
Dat Dat is excited that College Football and the NFL have started and well, as I always tell him, "at least you have the Gators."
As some of you know, I have gone back to work... and for those of you who don't know, I have gone back to work. I work part time for christopher and banks at the Panama City Mall. I started in mid June and I enjoy it very much. Last Friday, my manager offered me a small promotion, so, it is much like my employment before we moved, nights and weekends and now some light management duties... but that is fine with me, I enjoy the ladies I work with and it is really a lot of fun.
On another note, you know, MTV is not quite what it was in the beginning... ok, it is nothing like it was in the beginning... yes, I am old enough to remember when they only played music videos and an occasional episode of the irreverent British program "The Young Ones" in the middle of the night. However, I did happen to catch a rerun of the 2009 VMA's yesterday... and the opening transported me back to my youth... if you did not catch it, I am pretty sure there a tons of reruns over the next week and there is always you tube... Madonna was fairly eloquent and the tribute to Michael Jackson was fantastic... Yes, I had MJ posters and I think I broke our family record player (OMG... I just typed record player... google it if you are not familiar with the term) on the vinyl of Thriller... and, like Madonna our sons are very into Michael Jackson, I think his Number Ones CD is permanently stuck in the vans CD player (I even attempted a mutiny and stuck in some Duran Duran, but I was quickly over thrown) and they loved watching the Thriller video over and over again as they were replaying it on TV... Todd Jr has even been attempting the moonwalk. Grady was singing along to "Beat It" today but apparently he was channeling his inner Weird Al or his Dat Dat, who can never get the lyrics right... he was singing "just feed em..." Yeah, I don't know what he was hearing.. .maybe all those ear infections are finally taking their toll.
Sorry this was so long... if you were able to stick with me, thanks!
